Two Dilberts

This week The Nobby Works is counting down in Dilberts to the publication date of Employee's X's breathtaking new book Look Before You Lean: How a Lean Transformation Goes Bad--A Cautionary Tale. It should be noted that Employee X did not choose these particular Dilbert strips at random out of the thousands available. According to Employee X, each of these strips actually covers the same ground he covers in certain chapters of his book. Yesterday's strip corresponds to the book chapter called "The Wizard of Oz," today's to the chapter called "Rumplestiltskin," and tomorrow's "The Midas Touch." The difference being that what takes Employee X 4,000 words to say in his book, Scott Adams says in three drawings and about three dozen words. Very Lean.
